Food was Amazing. Had 2 tacos, Al pastor and Carnitas. So flavorful. Also had a tostada de camarón and it definitely didn't disappoint. Customer service was great too. I'm from LA so unfortunately probably won't be able to come back. But I will if I happen to drive through Lathrop. read more

This review is strictly based on a to-go order, and Vallarta Mexican Food absolutely delivered. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-portioned. I ordered the Super Red Burrito, which was excellent. The red sauce had a little kick--maybe slightly spicy, but nothing too much, and very enjoyable. The shrimp tacos were a good size with plenty of filling, and the two carne asada super tacos were big, stuffed, and well worth the price. I also got a kids shredded chicken quesadilla with fries, and even that was fresh and well made. Every item tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The staff was very nice, and they have a wide variety at the salsa bar--especially the extra spicy green sauce, which is a must-get if you like heat. Overall, I still believe this is the number one taqueria in Lathrop. Highly recommend, especially for to-go orders. read more

I ordered through Doordash. The taste was good. I've never ordered from this taqueria in the past, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I've been to every other restaurant in that plaza, so I expected it to be satisfactory. The burrito bowl wasn't quite as big as I had hoped but its price made me wonder about the serving size being smaller than I would expect. It was sufficient and the taste made it worth it. The carne asada was a little chewy but there was good flavor. The Jamaica was good, also. The food was still warm when the Dasher arrived with it, so the rice wasn't clumpy. read more

This location has been my go to for when I'm craving steak fries. I had tried a chimichanga and will be trying the Tuesday tacos next. I call in and order ahead to pick up but did once order there but it's best to order ahead. I guess it depends on who ever is cooking that day but looking at all my steak fries here it is presented all differently but all were delicious to eat and finish all up. Their price and amount of food is very reasonable I haven't had a hard time parking in their parking lot with other vendors/stores read more

Front staff is very nice once walking in and placing order. For just having one person upfront in the busy restaurant in the evening the front lady is doing great. She's taking orders, taking food plates out as the come and the food looks delish as I'm sitting here waiting for my to go order. Patrons are all smiling as they enjoy their meal. I'm excited to get home and eat my torta that I ordered . Props to this place. read more

This place to needs to do something about the guys cooking the food in the back. Came here 3 times out of convenience because it's close, but never again. Visit #1 ordered a chicken burrito.

Seriously done with this place read more

One of my favorite hidden gems of Lathrop! I come here to study and do homework whenever I'm feeling stressed--it's like my little escape. The food? Oh my goodness. Whether it's the tacos or my favorite Mexican plate, everything I've tried so far has been absolutely delicious. The ladies at the front register are always so sweet and welcoming--never any attitude, never any unwelcoming vibes. I make sure to tip them every time because they truly deserve it. Great food, great people. You'll probably find me tucked off in a corner with my laptop and a plate of something amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Good food. First time here and I had the 2 taco combo meal. They have a salsa bar and serve chips as well. You walk up and order and seat yourself and they bring out the food. The 3 salsas I tried were really good and they also had others. Bummed they didn't have pickled carrots in the salsa bar. The tacos were carnitas and chile verde. Both were really good flavor and I liked the Parmesan dusting on top of the tacos as well. The rice was good and the beans were just average, interior of restaurant was clean to include the restroom. The menu displayed on the TV was a bit hard to read. Kept flashing off to a blank screen and a bit discolored making the words hard to see. Would recommend this place and the staff were friendly. read more

So let me start off saying WOW. Let me give a little back story first , I'm a pescatarian from New York, moved to Florida & was visiting California. I have had such a hard time finding QUALITY food since I've moved and was looking forward to trying good food in California. I did not find good food here, I FOUND GREAT FOOD. I wish this place was down the block from me in Florida. The shrimp fajitas were perfect. Came with lettuce and all that good stuff in a separate box. As well came with tortilla chips. Refried beans were amazing, rice was on point and baby you know that fire flame shrimp and peppers proved their purpose also. Shrimp was clean everything was so delicious. Oh and ambiance was fine + Service was quick and did not disappoint. Would 5/5 eat here again and wish this was located near me. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT FOOD. read more

The food quality and portions are decent. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. My big gripe is that the restaurant sneaks a surcharge on to your bill. I know that a lot of restaurants have started doing this to secretly increase the charges, which I find dishonest. Other than that, this place is fine for a quick, casual meal. read more

Ordered nachos with al pastor and a shrimp ceviche toastada through a delivery service. Off top, one thing I appreciated is that the meal was delivered in a sealed "tamper proof" bag. I've had some questionable DD experiences, so this was a plus for me. As for the nachos, I wasn't disappointed... but I also wasn't overjoyed. Not really much present on the cheese front, and the al pastor had more of a chili flavor to it, which threw me off. It was almost like a nacho version of chili fries. It had a decent flavor, just unexpected I suppose would be the best way to describe it, in comparison to the other al pastor dishes I've had elsewhere. read more

Taqueria Vallarta is home of the Best menudo I ever had Only available on weekends! Their menudo is packed with so much flavor, and they never skimp out on the tripe like most restaurants do.

Beware! The older Mexican lady at the cash register, you have to keep your eye on her. This is the second time that she had tried to scam me. She tries overcharging me by $10-$15. The first time she gave me a total and it was $10 over than what it was. The second time this just happened again. She tried to charge me $15 over my amount. And when I caught her and confronted her she just blew me off. I'm never going back there again. She seems too comfortable In doing this to customers that are not paying attention. I believe that she has done the scam before, it seems too easy for her. read more

I rated this place previously as amazing but that was 8 months ago. The ladies I knew were sisters and not sure if they switched owners but online, it stated this Restaurant had a different name: Taqueria Vallarta 2. Anyway, I went in there this last Tuesday afternoon. I am not Hispanic but my family is and I know Spanish. Anyway, the older lady (whom I have never seen before) at the register was kind to Hispanic people but when I spoke Spanish to her, apparently that was my mistake. She responded in English, and gave me a dirty look. So I proceeded to respond in English. Then she continued to give me dirty looks. Then other customers came in, who were Hispanic and she was super nice to them. I got my salsas and asked for a bag and she gave it to me but acted like I was being annoying and like I asked for a big thing out of her way as she continued to give me a dirty look. She then went to the cooks and started talking crap about me about me knowing Spanish and I'm not even Hispanic. They come out to take a look at me and laughed. She forgot I understood Spanish. Then she gave me my food when it was ready and continued to give me a dirty look from when I got my stuff together all the way until I exited. Plus the food they gave was so little and charged me a lot of money. Based on this experience I told my husband who is Hispanic and we agreed, we are never coming back to this place because I have never had such an awful experience here. This place used to be my favorite but after that lady on Tuesday, not anymore. I am very disappointed but what can you do. Now, I am looking for a new place to get food. read more

Fast service and food was good! We ordered to go and had tried their crazy fries. They were great!

We always go here but seriously this is a joke. Carne asada fries had a little bit of French fries and the rest was mostly salsa and refried beans. I never had any complaints before but today this lady name Arceli who's the cashier was unprofessional. she already had an attitude when I ordered and she's the one who made a mistake with my order. Then the outcome was my food and the sides where a mess. The bag was filled with green salsa because of how she packed the condiments in. Check the other picture it shows. Like what I said this lady is a mean and unprofessional. I don't recommend anyone to come here. read more

MY FAVORITE taqueria since moving to the valley!! And this is from somebody who lived by the best taquerias on the east side of San Jose. One thing I love about this place is that they have seafood options which is a BIG DEAL for me since I'm a pescatarian. And secondly, the workers here are so professional. One time we offered through door dash, and the cook called us to let us know that they had run out of pastor (bummer for the hubby) but still, friendly of them even to call. Shrimp diabla THE BOMB! It's spicy, and it'll make you sweat like you just worked out. I love dipping corn tortillas with the sauce, and their refried beans go so well with this dish. They do not skimp out on shrimp, huge pieces. Shrimp quesadilla- before becoming dairy-free, I've had their quesadilla a few times, and let me tell you DID NOT DISAPPOINT. They give you big shrimp pieces. Fish and shrimp tacos- I don't order this often, but it's not bad. We'll be back, and I highly recommend this place if you are close by. read more

Huge disappointment! Ordered tacos, burritos and chicken fajitas through door dash. Asked to have salsa separate on the tacos. It was on the tacos and they were soggy and falling apart. Fajitas were missing peppers and onions, thin dried day old chicken. Bean and cheese burrito was okay. Spent $45 on food that had to be thrown away. HORRIBLE food quality! read more
